THE PROBLEM
When you sit down to negotiate, the people opposite you do this every day. They know the building, they know the market, and they know exactly when to push and when to concede. You're negotiating a 6-year financial commitment with someone who's done 600 of them.
THE COST OF GETTING IT WRONG
A 10% overpayment on a $200,000-a-year lease costs $120,000 over a 6-year term. It doesn't feel like a loss because the money leaves quietly, month by month. By the time you notice, it's gone.
The same logic applies to Opex you don't audit, rent reviews you don't challenge, and make-good clauses you don't model.
Above-market rent and poor review structures compound across the term. A $30/m² overpay across a 12-store network can cost $400,000+ over the lease term.
Wrong terms tie you to unsuitable premises, harsh make-good clauses, or rent that grows faster than your margins.
Lease costs sit on every P&L a buyer reviews. Bad leases lower business sale value.

Why it matters
A clear, repeatable process for every lease problem — from new sites to premises to renewals to exits.
Tell us about your business and your premises. We'll tell you where the money is, where the risk is, and whether we can help.
We build the right commercial strategy - for your premises, negotiation, review, renewal, restructure or exit - tailored to your business
We run the negotiation, manage the agents and the landlord, and hand you a lease that protects your business.
WHAT WE DO
A lease isn't one decision. It's six. Find. Negotiate. Fitout. Manage. Restructure. Exit. Each stage costs or earns you money. We work across all six because leasing decisions you make while negotiating a lease show up again at year three, year five, and at exit.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Tenants negotiate rarely. Landlords, agents and property managers do it daily. That gap costs real money across rent, terms, incentives and exit options. Specialist lease advice closes the gap.
WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE
A bigger office with more parking, a capped personal guarantee and real exit flexibility, on a lease that beat the firm’s existing landlord’s renewal offer.
Lower entry costs, rent-free and fit-out-free startup periods, and personal guarantees cut or removed, so every franchisee opened on solid footing.
A bigger landlord fit-out contribution, an exclusivity clause, limited personal liability and relocation risk removed, all inside two months.
WHY I DO THIS
When you sit down to negotiate a lease, the person on the other side does this for a living. Market knowledge, property insight, and negotiation experience — all of it works against you, and none of it is on your side of the table.
You can't rely on the landlord's agent to look after you. You're not the one paying them.
That's why I built Proactive Property Group. I act for tenants only. I negotiate leases every week. And I want you focused on running your business - not stuck in a lease conversation you don't have time for.
